As an active market player and strong proponent in the field of natural
refrigerants, shecco's expertise is valued in the following projects, partnerships and associations:
NARECO2
Running from 2007 to end-2009, this project brings together seven partners from the research and industry arena. NARECO2 - short for: NAtural REfrigerant CO2 - shares knowledge and experience regarding CO2 installations, and ultimately spreads the message to countries lagging behind in this fast-growing area. NARECO2 is funded by the EU Leonardo Programme. As the only industry partner, shecco has created an online exchange platform for all participants, and is currently organising Atmosphere 2009, the international conference for natural refrigerants concluding the project.More about NARECO2

EHPA
The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) promotes the awareness and proper deployment of heat pump technology in the European market place for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. As an official EHPA member, shecco is an active contributor to support the wider uptake of heat pump technology using natural refrigerants. The EHPA website also integrates news published on R744.com, ammonia21.com, and hydrocarbons21.com.More about EHPA
GTZ Proklima
Since 1996 GTZ (Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit) Proklima has been working on reducing and subsequent phasing-out of ozone depleting substances, in developing countries. Proklima advises governments of partner countries on drafting local regulations and setting policies that will comply with all international environmental agreements. In the industrial sector, Proklima assists companies in replacing ozone depleting technologies with environmentally friendly and economically attractive alternatives. shecco has contributed to the publication of “Natural Refrigerants – Sustainable Ozone- and Climate-Friendly Alternatives to HCFCs”, a comprehensive summary of case studies on the use of CO2, ammonia, and hydrocarbons.

UNEP HCFC Help Centre
The database of the United Nations Environment Programme assists developing countries in the phase-out process for ozone-depleting gases and the search for viable alternatives. The section on technology options values shecco’s three platforms R744.com, ammonia21.com, and hydrocarbons21.com as recommended information sources.More about the UNEP HCFC Help Centre
